I posted these in another thread, I believe the photos show one of these first 67 Z28's delivered to Yenko, being prepped for road racing. I have some other pics of these Yenko early 67 Z's, I'll see if i can dig some more out if anyone's interested in seeing them.

Joe,

Do you have any other photos of the front brake calipers from this Bud Gates Z-28? These are ultra rare pieces that used the dual cotter pin J56 brake pads on the 11" rotor. This was a year before the 11.75" 4-wheel disc stuff came out. I've never seen a good shot of these calipers showing the dual cotter pins and how these calipers were remachined. All shots seem to be taken from the front whereas from the side or back would show them off better. Supposedly the factory issued a blueprint on how to do the remachining but I have never seen that either. The factory issued these calipers as p/n 5468886 & 5468887 but the casting numbers are probably still 5455533 & 5455530. Anybody ever seen a set in person?

-Jon
